Instagit

instalabsai/instagit

Connects Claude to Instagit's repository analysis API through a single `ask_repo` tool. Point it at any GitHub repo using owner/repo shorthand or full Git URL, ask a natural language question about the codebase, and get back AI analysis with file paths and line numbers. The pitch is that agents can read actual source code instead of guessing from docs or stale training data. Works anonymously out of the box with auto-registered tokens, or bring your own API key from instagit.com for higher limits. Useful when you need an agent to understand library internals before generating integration code, debug across dependency boundaries, or evaluate unfamiliar codebases without hallucinating patterns.
